The face of our 22 month old (going on 4 years old!)
This has been an interesting week. Eli was sent home from school with a fever on Tuesday, stayed home Wednesday but went back Thursday. He seems to have a cold and we've had our fair share of crying for no reason, fussiness, lack of sleep, coughing and snot. Eli has been completely off and as a result it has thrown our whole house off (especially 9+ month pregnant Mommy!). Last night we all got a fairly decent night's sleep so we tried to have a fun day today without wearing Eli down. This morning, Eli & I went to Barnes & Noble to meet Carol & Ryan for some train time. The boys preferred running around the store so it wasn't quite as relaxing as we'd hoped but they had fun. After lunch Eli took a nap and then played with Daddy for a little bit. He was still acting tired so he took a second nap which seemed to do him some good. He wasn't nearly as fussy when he woke up. The other issue we've had this week is eating. Eli hasn't really been interested and I don't know if it is b/c of being sick or the heat - I don't really want to eat when it's hot. Nonetheless, he had some snacks and then we decided that we needed to get out of the house. We opted for no pool today to keep him from getting overtired so tonight, we did the unthinkable - we headed to the mall! Cool inside where we could walk around. We had fun going into the Lego store checking out all the cool stuff - Eli played with the Lego table and enjoyed looking at everything - and then going to Build a Bear to get Puppy Jim some new clothes. With two naps today, Eli wasn't tired at all at normal bedtime and Tim is trying to get him down now. Doubt he'll sleep late in the morning but hopefully he'll at least sleep well.
